Serving Hesperia, CA and surrounding areas. (442) 312-0064
Hesperia Asphalt Paving is your local asphalt paving contractor in Apple Valley, CA, handling driveway paving, sealcoating, crack sealing, and parking lot work across the whole town. We have served the Victor Valley area since 2019, and we know exactly what Apple Valley's Mojave Desert climate does to pavement year-round.
Apple Valley homes sit on large desert lots where driveways often run 50 feet or longer, and many were poured during the 1980s and 1990s growth boom - meaning they are now 25 to 40 years old and showing the wear. Our driveway paving service includes full base prep on caliche-heavy Mojave soil, so the finished surface holds up through summer heat and winter freezes.
Apple Valley's elevation of around 2,900 feet means real winter freezes that crack asphalt open from the inside out, following damage started by summer UV exposure. Sealing cracks before monsoon rain arrives keeps water out of the base layer, where it can turn a small repair into a full replacement job.
Apple Valley receives intense desert sun that bakes the protective oils out of untreated asphalt within just a few seasons, turning black pavement grey and brittle. Sealcoating every two to three years shields the surface from UV damage, slows oxidation, and keeps the pavement flexible through temperature swings.
Summer thunderstorms in the Mojave send water racing across hard desert ground and into any crack in your pavement, undermining the base and creating potholes fast. In Apple Valley, potholes that appear after storm events need to be cut back to clean edges and packed with proper hot-mix material so the patch holds through the next freeze cycle.
Commercial properties along Bear Valley Road and State Route 18 carry steady vehicle traffic on desert soil that shifts with moisture and temperature changes. We install and resurface parking lots for Apple Valley businesses using base depths and asphalt mixes designed for the load demands and climate of the High Desert.
Apple Valley lots often include caliche layers that must be broken through before grading can proceed, along with sandy surface soil that needs proper compaction to support a stable finished surface. Correct grading also ensures water drains away from structures rather than pooling and undercutting pavement edges after monsoon storms.
Apple Valley sits at roughly 2,900 feet in the Mojave Desert, which produces a pavement environment that is more demanding than most of Southern California. Summer highs regularly exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and the intense UV at this elevation oxidizes asphalt binder faster than in coastal or low-desert areas. The dry air - often in the single-digit humidity range during summer - pulls moisture out of materials and causes caulk, sealants, and asphalt surfaces to crack and peel faster than homeowners moving from wetter parts of California typically expect. A contractor who does not account for these conditions when selecting mix designs and sealers will produce work that fails prematurely.
What sets Apple Valley apart from nearby low-desert communities is the elevation-driven freeze-thaw cycle. Winter overnight temperatures drop below freezing from December through February, and that freeze-thaw action cracks open surfaces that UV damage has already weakened. The soil compounds the challenge: sandy Mojave desert soil shifts slightly with moisture, and the caliche layer just below the surface makes proper drainage work critical. During the late-summer monsoon season, fast-moving runoff across hard-packed desert ground can undercut driveways and pavement edges quickly if grading is not done right. A paving crew that understands Apple Valley's specific combination of soil, heat, and freeze-thaw will build surfaces that last significantly longer than one that does not.
Apple Valley was incorporated in 1988 and chose the title of town rather than city, reflecting its spread-out, large-lot character. Most of the housing stock was built between the 1980s and early 2000s, which means the driveways and parking areas we encounter are now at the age where the desert climate has done real damage and maintenance or replacement is overdue. We cover the whole town - from the older neighborhoods near Apple Valley Town Hall on Dale Evans Parkway to the quieter residential streets that extend east and north toward the desert edge.
State Route 18 - the main commercial corridor through Apple Valley - carries the kinds of businesses and retail centers that need proper parking lot resurfacing and restriping as pavement ages. We also work on the long residential driveways that come with Apple Valley's larger lots, where proper grading matters for keeping monsoon runoff away from garage slabs and perimeter walls. We also serve Lucerne Valley and other communities in the High Desert region that share similar soil and climate conditions.

(442) 312-0064Apple Valley is a town in San Bernardino County, sitting in the Victor Valley area of the Mojave Desert at around 2,900 feet elevation. With a population of more than 70,000, it is one of the larger High Desert communities in Southern California. The town chose the title "town" rather than "city" when it incorporated in 1988, reflecting its roots as a spread-out, rural-feeling desert community. Apple Valley has long been associated with the entertainers Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, who made their home here, and Dale Evans Parkway runs through the center of the town as a reminder of that local history. The housing stock is predominantly single-family homes on larger-than-average lots, built mostly during the 1980s through the early 2000s.
The town is one of four main communities in the Victor Valley, alongside Victorville to the west and Hesperia to the south. State Route 18 is the main commercial spine through Apple Valley, while State Route 247 connects south toward Yucca Valley and the low desert. The broad, flat desert floor with views of the San Bernardino Mountains to the south gives Apple Valley its distinctive character - open, spread-out, and built for people who wanted space and a slower pace than coastal Southern California offered.
